The Answer is Nietzsche would probably consider the Serra piece as art. It is grand in size, dominating the scene and imposing its will on the space around it, which is reflective of the imposing figure of Serra, who tries to dominate the scene intentionally. The sculpture is definitely his disruptive will and control made solid and real.
Nietzsche would probably consider the Minatoya piece to be anti-art. It is subtle and humble, requiring humility and patience to understand. The artist would have, for Nietzsche, sucked the energy from that around him, consumed in order to produce rather than exude in order to produce the work.
One could also argue the reverse, seeing as how the Serra work consumes from those around it. It is an annoyance, representative of no form, no intoxication. The artist does nothing but draw from his environment. The Minatoya work, however, is brimming with excitement and exuberance. The child in the book is learning not to admire the lowly and suffering, oppressed tofu man and chicken seller. She is learning to will, to be austere and hard, living the warrior life of the samurai.
